Favorite Fashion Ads of 2010

Refinery 29 published their list of 2010's Top Fashion Ads.

They're just simply amazing in every way possible.

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2010—Christy Turlington, Karen Elson, and Natalia Vodianova shot by Steven Meisel

Quite possibly my most favorite ad campaign ever for I am infinitely obsessed with 50s/60s fashion and the demure ladylike, yet sexy affection of the dresses with their tight bodices and full skirts. And elbow length gloves? Yes, please--any day of the week.

And my honorable mention, not on the Refinery 29 list, goes to:

 This unaffected autumn stroll for coffee, while impeccably dressed, is a portrait of how I picture coupledom--though I'm not sure how my much future man will enjoy being decked out in his infinity scarf and hard leather shoes for such an activity. We'll have to work on that.

What were some of your favorite ads from the past year?
